Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.
Iqbal Khowaja - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a simple user interface and end-to-end monitoring and self-healing features
My organization uses many application performance management solutions, such as AppDynamics, New Relic APM, Splunk, and Datadog. I'm the CTO for the state of Hawaii, and across the board, different departments use different APM tools. I'm using the latest version of New Relic APM, but I cannot recall the exact version. My company has a dozen engineers using and monitoring New Relic APM. I'd tell anyone planning to use New Relic APM that it has to fit what you have. For example, most of my company's payload is in AWS, and the tool has adopters and features that CloudWatch cannot provide. Still, New Relic APM can, so you should do a demo or trial run first and see if it's a tool that'll help you with end-to-end monitoring. New Relic APM is working well for my company, so an excellent way to start is to do a trial run to see how the tool works out for your current applications. My rating for the tool is nine out of ten because my experience with it has been great. New Relic also worked closely with my company and has always been upfront on what's available and what's not. My company is a New Relic APM customer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"HPE OneView allows me to monitor access and check the health of the infrastructure in a single console."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"It gives insights to non-technical people about what technical issues are most important, how much it impacts customers, and potentially, where we should be targeting our development teams when they have time."
"The most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"You don't have to go through a list of 500 servers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
 

Cons

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment needs improvement on the filtering part. I would like it to go more granular on accounts."
"We would like a dashboard feature to be created for this product. This would allow us to monitor both the front and back-end of our UIs performance, and then report on it."
"I would like to be able to invest less time in IT and ad hocs. We should be concentrating on other issues."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
"Email alert customization is limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"​I am happy with the price."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"This is an expensive product."
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. The product is easy to deploy and manage, which is why our company purchased through the AWS Marketplace."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
"They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
"The detection piece of it brings us a big return on investment."
